The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
... tan(45°) = (height above eye level)/(20 m)
... height above eye level = (20 m)·tan(45°) = (20 m)·1 = 20 m
_____
Eye level is 1.7 m above ground, so the height of the flagpole above ground is
... height of pole = height above eye level + height of eye level
... height of pole = 20 m + 1.7 m = 21.7 m
Answer:75%
Step-by-step explanation:
48 over 64 & x over 100
100•48 =4800/64= 75
The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.
The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1
In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d
Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4
This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.
Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.
